I am looking around, what other mid engine trannies are out there???
Toyota MR2 , probably easy to get at a junk yard NSX Not so easy to get Ferrari , unobtanium Boxter 914 What else? I know the MR2 and the NSX are both trying paddle shifting autos... Just want to find a better solution. Could a jag tranny or even a 928 tranny fit reasonably well? How about Heiland (sp) I am not sure if that is even the name, but I have seen them on small openwheel racers... rich |

This really is just splitting hairs. I've always considered the MR2 to be mid-engined. The engine is behind the seats, but there's a trunk behind it, and you can't reach much of anything in the engine bay from above, only from below. Pretty much like a 914.

By Mike's definition, using a Mini drivetrain would make it mid-engined. The entire Mini gearbox was directly under the crank. The clutch was on the end. But the diff hung out the back, so the complete engine/gearbox was entirely in front of the axles. If the crank is forward of the diff, it's mid-engined. If the crank is aft of the diff, it's rear-engined. That's my definition... |
